The handful of people affected were forced to take one of the many nearby alternate stairwells or lifts while receiving a somewhat amusing anecdote to share with others.
***** Ever been to a nursing home? Seen how easily elders can fall? Video proof that imbecility is thriving nowadays and some people have nothing more productive to do with their time.
***** :D :D :D :D I just don't know how to respond. I think, only good laugh will do the job. Live a good life dear Soo Zin and never stop to amuse people around you!
None of you seem to realize that it wouldn't prevent use of the escalator at all. Just step on, the balls will harmlessly bounce around you as you ride up.
This would be a HUGE safety issue potentially slipping on a ball and getting injured. More so where you get to the top where the balls are concentrated. Interesting idea, but very inconsiderate and annoyingly implemented.
Marcellus King Just don't be dumb when you step off and look where your feet are. Omg lol its like you saying you can't sit at a table because theres some ketchup on it.
You could just go on it, on the first Step were only 1-2 Balls all the time.. An if you are on it, you don't have to care about the balls. Only the Step on it is difficult
Those passers-by were really good sports about this. When denied an escalator ride they stood there and watched in awe, maybe thinking it was an art installation.
I would've taken the elevator, why were people scared? You plant your feed and don't move them again till you get to the top, it would push you through the balls. It's not like you'd be stepping on them it's not stairs...
I can't call this sarcasm, because the escalator can still be used, albeit with stuff in the way of stepping on and off. Also there's no way the balls will harm the machine. To me this would fall into the realm of mild disruption of public places.
Brian Rooney I don't think so, because escalators are always moving even when there is nobody near them so it can't be electricity. By harnessing the energy of escalators we could generate infinite electricity and give internet to people in africa. Imagine if every building in your city had an escalator on their roofs, it would be poetic but science at the same time.
So to people that are saying you can still use the escalator : I suppose it is okay to grafitti your house? Because you can still use it? Then we should sue the government for putting people in jail for graffitti then huh? How about we use your house as a plastic dumpster? You can still use it, and it doesn't smell.
***** And graffitis are just drawings on a wall. SOMEONE ELSE's wall. PUBLIC wall. Try putting those on in front of a cop. See if you can argue that "it's just drawing".
The balls actually can represent society, where the balls at the top keep pushing the balls that are trying to climb back down but sometimes, they fail and fall down themselves. And that balls aren't meant to be on a fudging escalator.
I was at a trampoline park and the place had a little play area for little kids. It had a slide as tall as the escalator and a ball pit. Me and my friend got all the balls into a little room then we pushed them down the slide.
